StorMagic, simplifying storage at the edge, announced today
the availability of a new third-party Competitive Intelligence Report from DCIG, LLC
titled, "A Comparison of How StorMagic SvSAN and Scale Computing Deliver on
Enterprise Edge Computing Storage Requirements." The research findings will
educate enterprise edge customers as they review leading hyperconverged (HCI)
solutions optimized for remote offices and the edge.

The study examines Scale
Computing's HC3 series and StorMagic SvSAN in a side-by-side comparison,
with several differentiators analyzed in depth, including management
capabilities and hardware, software and high availability (HA) configurations.

"StorMagic delivers edge without
compromise. SvSAN is a well thought-out solution for customers with many
locations, thanks to its minimal hardware and networking requirements to
achieve high availability," said Jerome Wendt, president and founder, DCIG,
LLC. "SvSAN's witness host option underscores this benefit, because just two
servers are required per site to achieve HA at scale. Further, SvSAN delivers
flexibility so customers can use any major hypervisor, server and storage
devices - even servers they already own."

DCIG's research report dives into StorMagic's
witness host feature and illustrates that it not only ensures HA,
but can considerably drive down overall solution costs. SvSAN's witness feature
is particularly beneficial for organizations with numerous locations that are
separated by considerable distances. Alongside uptime and affordability, edge
customers seek solutions that offer multiple deployment and configuration
options to match unique IT requirements. An SvSAN hyperconverged solution can be deployed as a
pre-configured appliance solution from a server vendor, or installed onto any
new or existing hardware.

"Flexibility is a key requirement
for edge sites, where each location may have different hardware, software and
applications running," said Bruce Kornfeld, CMO and GM-Americas, StorMagic.
"SvSAN runs on any x86 server, all leading hypervisors, and fits into an end
user's existing management framework with no new tools to learn. StorMagic
built SvSAN with the edge in mind-to ensure an affordable, flexible and easy to
use solution that is an ideal fit for small datacenters found at retail
stores, manufacturing sites and small- and
medium-sized businesses."
